Best Looking Rolex...?
OK, not your favorite, or the one you want to own. What Rolex do you like the looks of best?
For example my favorites are GMTs but I don't think they look better than other models. Besides the obvious 18k Day/Date (perhaps with a black face) I personally think the best looking Rolex is a Blue face sub 18k/SS. Talk about a beautiful watch. If only they made a full size Day/Date 18k with a blue face. That I might think about saving up for.

The TT Bluesy is a stunning watch and I think the latest TT GMT takes some beating - here's another 2 shots of mine that I haven't posted before:

For me its the ones I own. A polar dial Explorer II and a matte dial Pepsi GMT. I'm very happy for my two.

Felly, I'll post a picture of mine later - it's exactly as you've specified above and it's utterly awesome.

Exactly the same Day-Date from Bo`s reply and TT Blue Sub are,IMHO,most beautiful Rolex watches.

Wow, they are all nice, not sure there is a "best looking one"
But for me. I suppose SD sings the right song. By the way tried on a two tone Yacht Master with blue dial yesterday, I've always loved that blue dial but the watch itself once on did not inspire me.

YG Daytona 116528 black dial with champagne subdials. SS Daytona is a very close second.

The best impressive watch of Rolex current collection must be this one in gold.
The Gold/Steel version is a good alternative for less than half the price but it is not the same. |

The all gold GMT certainly is a great looking watch, but the TT isn't too bad either and here's my Day-Date, too - are you looking, Felly?

Between you and Eddie and your darn nice pic's I'm gonna have to pull the trigger on one of those as soon as I can. Guess I'm gonna have to flip something! Just curious, but do you know if this comes in rose gold? |

I really can't say enough good about it! I must check out the RG version though, as I have had a change of heart about that color gold after I saw the Daytona in RG!

I love my GMT II. I wear it more than of my other Rolexes. A true "tool" watch.
